Reminiscence of the Past

Home from work he comes,
through the wooden door.
She is waiting there,
for him.

"Wash this," he says,
giving her his coat.
"Yes sir."

"Is my dinner ready?"
He asks.
"Yes sir."

Anything he wants,
she does.
Anything he needs,
she provides.

Because in him she sees,
behind that scruffy beard,
the smooth skin, and love
that was once there.

And in those, clear blue eyes
she sees
a Reminiscence of the past.

A White Cat

A white cat,
Perched, eyes wide, listening.
What does she hear?
The gentle whispering of the wind,
or the chirping of the crickets?
Is it the dog, impatiently barking in the distance?
What does she see?
The flag, blowing bravely?
The ruffling of the leaves in the trees?
Or is it me, sitting lazily on the creaking hammock, writing?
How does she feel?
The look in her eyes shows she's awake, alert.
Is she nervous,
looking for a wild animal or a savage human who will harm her?
Is she searching for her lost best friend Moses,
who passed away last year?
What does she smell?
The coldness of the setting sun,or the green grass that needs a trim?
Can she smell the birch tree,
beautiful and triumphant in it's tall glory?
I ponder these things as a I watch
A white cat,
Perched, eyes wide, listening.

Very nice :up:

Living in a Frame

I see the light.
I see the dark.
In the frame
Is where I stay
Frozen there,
You see, I'm stuck
In one position
Forever
You grow,
You die,
I watch as you live
As days pass by
I see all
I know all
Of the secrets untold
Because when you think
You're all alone
I'm there hanging on the wall
Watching, listening
to you.
My perfect hair,
my frozen gaze,
I will stay forever,
Always this way.

Knight in Shining Armor

It's a warm, sunny day
Walking in this field with you.
The birds are chirping, the grass is green.
A light breeze whispers across my neck.
I spot a trench in the field.
"A stream," I think.
But then I fall.
I must've tripped.
It probably was a mistake.
I grasp a ledge, hanging for dear life.
There is an empty blackness below.
I see you up there, my prince.
But you are laughing.
This is no mistake.
You reach to help me,
I can see the grass-
Then you let go.
Back on the ledge I see the menacing pit below me.
I cry.
A voice in my head tells me you are not my love.
For it is you who has thrown me into this pit of dispair.
I wish for love, but it is not you who can help me.
I must wait,
my life in my hands,
Until he comes to save me.
My true love,
My knight in shining armor.

Untitled

Have you ever had a problem,
and it feels like no one understands?
So don't EVEN tell me you understand,
because you don't.
Because just when you think you do,
you don't.
Welcome to my life.
I don't wany anybody telling me what
I want to hear
What did you say?
Why should I believe you?
Don't even give me an answer to that question without a solid reason!
You've heard the whole story, oh yes
But you have no idea how it feels
So unless you think the truth will send me to my grave,
tell me it, for goodness sake!
So don't EVEN tell me you understand,
because you don't.
Because just when you think you do,
you don't.
Welcome to my life.
Do you get the point?
Don't tell me that you, or think that you
understand.
You don't.

The Field

You and me together
As we walk hand in hand.
We come to a gate.
On my side the green grass,
it beckons me.
I leave you.
As I enter the field, the clouds darken.
it rains down on me.
I fall, laying in my own puddle of grief.
My heart aches.
Don't leave me.
The gate is locked, I cannot go back.
Why have I done this?
Ruined my life.
But I cannot stay here.
I must find another gate..
The gateway to happiness.
